Gamer Network

Gamer Network is one of the world’s leading games media businesses and is the publisher behind brands such as Eurogamer, RockPaperShotgun, OutsideXbox and more.

Since 2012 I’ve written for Gamer Network about how games evolve during development. I work with developers to uncover the design documents, spending months investigating and gathering research for long-form articles.

For example, did you know Deus Ex was originally set in a Russian-occupied Texas? Or a cancelled Thief sequel would have rebooted the series in a modern setting? Did you know Doom was initially a four-player co-op game?

As a journalist I’ve lectured and written at length about the need for the publishers and developers to preserve the history of the medium, before it is lost for good.
